9? if . rH- u fUcjf f ' 6 ' I ' ■ ' t The Memandex DAVENPORT COLLEGE Lenoir, N. C. PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1905. fust personal Woxti €0 the girls, Alumna?, and many friends of Davenport, we commend this volume of TheMemanuex. To supercilious critics we make no apologies for its faults. By those who love the old College the little hook will be appreciated, and will keep in mind the dearest recollections of happy days. We are sorry that we could not get a new pic- ture of the College, but the new building was not completed. And two of our dearest teachers did not get pictures made in time to put them in the Annual. But memory will treasure many things that The Memandex does not contain.

Class of IC oj Edith Alexander Vice-FresiJent Class tgos A Review of Senior Class Historij T has been to me a pleasant dut)- to review the four vokinies of the past II I ' istory of the Senior Class. Each contains three hundred and sixty-five - ' . pages, beautifnlly bound in stiff Meniorio, with titles clearly printed in green reminiscences. Hut we have space to mention only the most interesting chapters. The first volume contains our history in that green age known in college terms as h reshmen. In that epoch the pleasant study of Latin began, and the girls say that it has been a constant source of pleasure to them ever since. They were especially interested in Case relations, and we feel sure that these were the ones given in Collar and Daniell. .Mgcbra and Physiology also formed stum- bling-blocks over which tlie - fell and then in their distress cried for home and mother. Piib Xcwland and Eva ( ioforth. both from Lenoir, spent this period at our dear old Alma Mater, and the volume relates many (jf their attempts to cope with the wise Sophomores, and in consequence making many blunders. I find in the next volume that Kate Wagg, of Marion, enters the Class. Now these tliree assume the wisdom of Socrates and move around with stately tread, announcing a Class-meeting of the Sophomores for the purpose of agitating the question of the Panama Canal. But I read of their truly growing in wisdom, and by solving the knotty problems which tlie ' encoun tered in their work, thev prepared themselves to wear the mantle of Junior dignity. Of this the third volume tells us. Thev were not alon this year, for Edith Alexander, from Asheville, Mary McGowan. from Elm City, and a little later in the year Margaret Umberger, from Mt. LHla, came to partake of the bitter- sweets of school life at Davenport. There are some very interesting chapters telling how they accomplished some great things, gaining a renown for themselves, for they had the reputation of being very industrious and ' a joy to teach. One chapter told how the Seniors feasted themselves at a banquet, their trip to the mountains, and many other gala days which are always liailed with nmeh pleasure in a schoolgirl ' s life. In another we saw where these sedate Juniors were presiding over the Golden Links and literary societies, and helping to manage the affairs of the Y. W. C. A. They loved their college, an l at commencement separated with the determination to return and by doing faithful work prepare themselves to solve the greater prob- lems which would come into their lives, i; 17 I fouiul in the fourth voUime an account of the entrance of Rose Earnhardt, of Lenoir. She had attended school at DaveniJort some years ago. but had dropped out to await the survival of the fittest. The problems which the Class met this year wfre indeed knotty, for besides the course, it was necessary for them to take two years ' work in Latin. The first of the volume treats of the many hardships, among whicli were to make Davis ' s Psychology practical, and to comprehend the contents of Young ' s Astronomv. But they were equal to the contest and conquered, even through difficulties. The last chapters tell us of the teas, dinners, and many other enjoyable occa- sions in which the seven sisters participated. They learned many great lessons which will never be effaced from their memories, and 1 am sure that on entering upon the numerous duties of life they w ' ill ever keep as their motto the one that they adopted the last year at Davenport : To be for the other, and in so doing will live unselfish lives and be a joy to all those with whom thev are associated.

K. ur Class Pro[)hecu of 1905 | ' HI ' :. my classmates lovingly threw the mantle of prophecy over my shdul- kTs, I trembled and was sorely perplexed. Who, ah! who can peer through the veil of futurity and tell what a dim, mvsterious future holds ! We have been very happy within these dear old halls. It is true we have had hard tasks to master, but the world may assign us tasks infinitely harder than those we have mastered in the schooIr(x,m. May we enter upon our work as true soldiers, with hearts for any fate. I wish you all God-speed, and with loving heart begin to foretell your fate. You are destined to wander o ' er our sunny Southland. I trust each one of us will be made happier and better by having received tranimg at our beloved Alma Mater. Our president, Jessie Newland, will surprise you all. Doubtless vou think she will ever remam the frolicsome, light-hearted maiden of to-day. Ten years with their joys and sorrows, have passed away, and we find her a trained nurse in a hospital, with a brave heart and loving hands trying to chase away sorrow and doing all Within her power to soothe pain and bring relief to suffering humanity I he great heart of time throbs on. The hospital loses its angel of mercy for she goes to adorn a beautiful home of her own. The tender little heart of Kate Wagg will ever feel another ' s woes, an.l the sorrows of others will often cast a shadow over her pure soul. Let me whisper softly, there is an Adonis who has stormed the citadel of her heart and within five years she will reign the proud queen of somel„,d ' s heart and home We were all very glad to hear of this, for we ,lid n,.t want Kate to be an old maid since she was so much opposed to it. We were also gla,l to know she had a hio-her i.Ieal in life than that of making fires. Now comes Rose Earnhardt, full of the exuberance and ecstatic joy of youth but withal a steadfast purpose in view. Her sympathetic nature truly earns hearts for her. For a short time she will dignify the proud calling of teacher, and with pride and pleasure train minds in classic halls, until growing weary of siiiHe blessedness, she makes one heart supremely happy. ' ' Tell, oh! tell me. prophet, what shall ' the fates decree for Edith Alexander ' ( )n her graduating day an inspiration has taken possession of her to see somethino- of the beauties of the workl, so from the rock-ribbed mountains to the sighing sobbing ocean, she wanders o ' er land and sea, until she is glad to be at home again ' With lii-iiaik ' iK ' d mind and a keener apprccialinn nf tlie lirdtherliond of mankind. she !;iies on many errands of mercy, and wliu has the power to estimate the good slie will di) in her native land? Many will rise up and call her blessed. Wild can look in the sweet face and be surrounded by the gentle influence of .Margaret I ' niberger and doubt what her future will be In fancv I see Iier aboard a steamer bound for foreign lands. With a snnl filled with the love of Ciod she crosses the waters to tell the wonderful story to those w ' ho sit in darkness. Her heart throbs with the glory of her work and joyfully she obeys the call of duty, though each wave of the briny deep seems to sing in minor strains, Home, Sweet Home. Eva Goforth in reality goes forth to meet every duty and enjoy her ideal life. She will truly appreciate the rustic beauty and ni.-my comforts of her rural home. People still listen to her great stories in rapt attention, for she is considered llie greatest narrator of her age. Five years from this happy day we will all. accord- ing to invitation, be speeding away to visit her and again view these grand old hills we love so well. Doubtless the gentle summer zephyrs, the budding flowers and the singing birds will make us all with a tender sigh realize, Days that are gone seem the brightest. Dear are the hours that are gone. Classmates, we, radiant with high hopes and lofty aspirations, will soon leave these dear old balks — we, who have earnestly enjoyed with genuine appreciation the wise coutisel of our faithful guardians of education, and may we each one be a diadem in their crown of rejoicing. We know other forms will take our places on this lovely campus, other voices will join in the melodies of our chapel songs, and other hearts will delight in the ever-increasing beauty of dear old Davenport. h ' ain would we linger, linger and leave thee not. hiU the hour of parting comes, so to presi.lent. teachers and friends we bid a reluctant good-hye ; yet it is the most sacred of all benedictions.

I will try to write mine as much like it as I can. Most of us left our homes on or about August 31st, 1904. We landed in Lenoir September ist, 1904, We have been doing well ever since. When we got here w ' e did not have any Indians to fi.ght, as they did in the Spanish War, but we had to dodge about to keep out of the way of the teachers. We could not keep away from them long, as they were so numerous, but after we knew them we found they were very kind. In other histories they tell about the number of the ])eople. It can not be said of us that we are a Little class, for we are a large and Hardie one. We have had Moore fun since we came to this Xewdand, so to speak, than we can easily tell about. One of our favorite amusements is to Steele up-stairs after light-bell and have candy-stews. We station one girl at the top of the stairs to gaze into the dark Pitts below, so that the teachers can not come up and Shear-er fun. We love to go to all our recitation-rooms, and we love all our teachers, but Weav-er special love for the dining-room, where we enjoy the potatoes whicli were prepared liy the new Peeler. R. C. K.

Three of her large colleges for women were destroyed by fire. In this the Church as well as the State felt an irretrievable loss. Having no assurance that Davenport College was protected from fire, the brave and thoughtful girls of the institution organized a fire company at the beginning of the spring terni of 1904. The purpose of this organization was, in case fire should break out in the building, to have a company of well-trained fire-women who would be brave enough t o face any danger in extinguishing the flames or rescuing the other girls from the burning building. In electing officers we elected fearless young ladies, who, if any accident should happen, would not think of a package of old letters first but of the right thmg in the right place. We elected a chief for the company and a captain for each hall. Because of her marked presence of mind, Miss Kate Wagc was elected chief for the first year; Misses Virginia Stover, Flora Rutledge, Margaret Newell, captains. It was our good fortune to leave school without the fire com- pany having to be called out. When school opened again in the fall the company met and reorganized electmg Margaret Newell chief. Rdith .Me.xander. Clyde Thomas, Esther Brown captains. ' It is the purpose of the company to provide themselves with extinguishers and fire-proof uniforms. With the chief ever on the alert, the active, ubiquitous Thomas .second in command, supported by the calm and ever-thoughtful Captain Brown, the fine physique and sturdy lungs of the alarmist. Captain Alexander, a destructive fire at Davenport would lie almost im])ossible. .Marcakict .X ' ewki.i,. Chief.

WILLIAM SPOTTSWOOD NOLLEY Born in Lancaster County, Va., March 5th, I 98 Died in Lenoir, October 5 th, 1904 Ncincij t HE is a woman with a mar eloiis habit of loving people everywhere. All y hir thoughts are trustful, her fancies bright with hope. Waiting at a ' liincly station for a train four hours late would not make her restlessly impatient, because her own thoughts are more interesting than the mountain scenery in Switzerland. She has so much common sense that education and culture leave no altered and artificial traits in her natural disposition. Withal she is unselfish. When she is doing things for others her kindness reveals no self-seeking wish that the others might praise or return the favor, but all she does is done in a spirit of cheerful gratitude just as if every kindness she needed had already been shown to her. Never does she scorn the common duties ; never does she neglect those little nameless acts of Christian helpfulness. She could tell how hate affects the feelings, could well describe malice, jealou.sy. and all the faults tliat woiiien know, but having overcome teni])tatinns. she is all the wiser and more sympathetic to give help to those who need. While detesting the Pharisee ' s ways, she yet can love the Pharisee. And she knows liow to forget as well as how to forgive. Her cheerfulness is so perennial that all old moods of discouragement or melancholy have been forgotten. Although an artist might think that an effort to eat big apples when she was a little girl had slightly altered the correct shape of her nose, her face is fair and attractive. Her l)rown e es have an innocent beauty that has never been injured by thoughts selfish and insincere. Her artless laughter often suggests the quota- tion, Some people will lie permitted to laugh in heaven. .She is all right : she i a lilessing. A Modern Galileo W ' HKX tlie world was yet young, the tower of I ' .abel must needs l)e built so that man might climb to his ambition ' s content. Notwithstanding the utter failure of that and the ridicule of sneering generations, we find in tiie dawn of tlie twentieth century a man of like passion. He would not climb to heaven, but rather make a heaven and earth for himself, studding its paper dome with constellations of bright green, yellow, red, and blue. Miat matter if its frame be only bamboo cane, and its crust wra])ping jiaper? liehold the creative genius of the imaginative power. With astronomical learning no man can complain of limitation. The earth is his and the heaven also. At least that is what our Professor of Astronomy would demonstrate to us. After days of toil and nights of sleeplessness, with haggard face and disheveled hair, but eyes joyous and bright, he greets us, and at midday ushers us into a starlit chamber where he invites us to spend an after- noon visiting with him the various constellations of his reed-bound universe. These journeys are usually very delightful, with the exceptions of some serious frights caused by a terrific thundering noise, which afterwards prove to be only a reed pulling loose from the North Pole. This universe is called one of the seven wonders of Davenport, but we consider it the eighth wonder of the world. In order that the reader may understand the earnestness of our scientist, imagine a man standing in the observatory of a high building at midnight, with a lantern in one hand and a field glass in the other, gazing at the stars ami trying to locate the Big Dipper.

Smith. She had been accused of willfully assaulting and battering th at beautiful pcicni so dear to our hearts, Gray s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. In the h ' aculty Recital she had come upon the stage in all her loveliness, and with an a])|)arently unfeeling heart, had given that quaint poem its death-blow by rendering it in the style of Friday afternoon speeches in a country school, thus not only destroying the good influence of the poem, but al.so ridiculing the innocent children. The court-room was crowded. The student-body and the teachers were there ; even the people from the city came to be present at this trial — the most important and momentous brought before Davenport Superior Court (excepting the case of Kate and Phil ) . The twelve jurors, composed of the Freshmen, soberly took their seats in the jury box, the left of the stage. The four lawyers, seated at their respective tables, felt the tremendous responsibility which rested upon their shoulders. A sudden stillness fell over the court-room as the sheriff. Miss Newell, marched in with the [irisoner. The latter, dressed in deepest mourning, her pale, remorseful face, and beautiful hair that had so suddenly turned gray b - the anxiet ' and suspense, moved the hearts of all — to laughter. The would-be dignified judge, Mrs. Nolley, with mock solemnity called the court to order. The clerk of the court announced the first case on docket, an l tlie sheriff was asked to read the warrant. She ex- citedly began fumbling in her shirtwaist for it, but it was not to be found. She obtained permission to retire in search of it, and returning in a few minutes, read it to the court. The witnesses one by one gave their testimonies, much to their embarrassment, and to the annisement of the audience when they were cross-questioned too closely by the lawyers. Miss Robinson testified as to having seen with her own eyes the menacing gestures of the notorious elocutionist planning to take tlie life of the victim. Then followed tile sjieeches of the lawyers. ,Miss Terrell, the first for the prosecution, in el()(|Uenl language stated the case and showed how the poem ' s 58 beauty had been forever destroyed. Then Misses Thomas and Newland for the defense with strong arguments presented the other side of the question. They tried to convince the jury of the innocence of their cHent. Miss Holsclaw, the other lawyer for the State, proved be ' ond a doubt that the prisoner was guilty. After an impressive charge from the judge, the jury slowl}-, silently, filed out to make the verdict. While the court was waiting with ' bated breath the prisoner, overcome by the strain of the trial, gracefully fainted. Then all was confusion until she regained consciousness by feeling the contents of the water- tank, which a n excited Junior had brought and poured over her. In a few minutes the jury returned and gave in the verdict, Guilty. The prisoner found that she had fainted too soon and did not feel equal to a second attack. The mercy of the court was extended to her, and the punishment was as light as tlie law |)ermitted. Eunice H. Roberts, Clerk of the Court. Just the Neighborhood Tcilk ' Hun. Yes, indeedy.

Beside the desk is the same old easy rocking-chair, fillc with CUf ;hi. rins. and in i t our English lile of bli ss that I nc _-ver saw the mere teacher sits, his face li ghted up with a presence of our class bring to it. I was so excited last night I couldn ' t sleep nuich. I felt just as I used to when I was a child on Christmas eve night and. for the first time that I can remember, it happened that I heard the rising bell. I was a littje late to breakfast for I wanted to make as good an appearance as possible. When I did go down they were all waiting there in the hall for me. In a kind of maze I was escorted to the dining- room bv a gentleman named Soles, or something of the kind, who told me that all of the class was at breakfast except Mary McGowan. Some one rapped on the table and made the announcement that when the electric l ell niiis; we would go on English. After breakfast we all went out on the piazza and — well if you had been there you would have had a reason for saying something aliont women talking. When the bell sounded we all went down the hall and gently pushing open the door, we entered. After speaking to Professor and meeting a pretty girl standing behind his chair, whom he introduced as Nancy, we took our seats and the lesson began. Professor Weaver said, first, we might spend thirty minutes in writing any thing we liked, so of course I at once seized the opportunity as a good one for writing to you. Sometimes as I bend over mv paper I am trying to think up my ten best thoughts or a plot for a story, and then I get the glimpse of a black coat sleeve and it brings me back to the realities of to-day. It seems as if it has been only a short time since we roamed around the dear old halls and oftentimes, oh, so often, when we did not keep study hour, would wander down here to the English-room and have jolly times until the first bell would call and tell us that it was time to go to Slumber Land. A few minutes ago Professor Weaver said in that deliberate way he always had, Miss Jessie, in the sentence ' Don ' t talk on class, ' what is the subject ? And from the back of the room a laughing voice answered, Me, understood. I turned my head in the direction of the voice and as I expected saw Bib equally dividing her time between the one to whom she had long since given her heart and hand, and one of the professors. But as I look at her now I am not surprised that among the raven locks of her better half there is a goodly sprinkle of gray. Nancy has just finished .giving each a copy of the Melange but I think if Professor Weaver would take his attention off of her long enough to look through his roll-book he would find that my name was checked off some time in nineteen and five. Everybody is getting full of the plans for our meeting and the fun we are going to have. I have actttally heard a little college slang and Kate N agg call some one darling and say she was tickled to death. .After leaving you. station after station was passed and at last I reached Char- lotte. A handsome couple entered the car and took their seat not far from mine. I looked at them for a while and then the thought came to me that I had seen those dark-brown eyes, as I recognized the familiar voice. I rose and started towards her and foun l it to be our beloved president. After talking for a short time she told nie that she had heard from our class prophet, and tliat she and her better nine-tenths were to meet us in Salisbury. When we arrived at Lenoir we found the rest of our classmates. Eva was still the same; ever going forth and doing what she coidd for the good of others. Rose had only been home for a short time, for she had been an English teacher at the Salem Academy and College. Margaret and Kate got here yesterday and they are still doing all they can to make others happy. Professor has called time so I will have to sto]). I wish you could be with me but as you can ' t, I will write to you every day an l you must do likewise. Yours lovingly. Edith. How we Study Latin Maucaret. — Come on, girls, let ' s go to work on this Latin. Marv. — Yes, do. We ' have so many hard lessons to-morrow. There ' s Psy- chology, History, Ethics, English, and this Latin. I haven ' t stndied one of them. Please, let ' s hurry and get through before sujiper, so we can liave the stud - period to-night for our other lessons. Edna. — Well, I want us to work and not talk as we have been doing when we come out here to study. Here we have such a nice, cool place in the shade of this tree, and we ought to study. I think we can get through before supper, we have three hours yet. Let me see, what is the lesson? Oh, yes, it begins here at Prrecipue pins neas. Now, where does it end? JNIy, all that? Why, we will never get over it! I don ' t think Miss I ' arker ought to give such long lessons, do you? She surely doesn ' t realize how much work we have to do. It keeps us busy nearly all the time. Mary. — Xow, Edna, we don ' t want any of your history just now. Please go on, and translate that first sentence. Edna. — Oh, I ' m tired of reading it. I wish the mail would come. I am ex- pecting a letter from — from home, and I ' m sure mother will tell me how she is going to make m ' commencement dress. I am so anxious to know. But we ' re not translating this Latin. Venus, sadder than usual and with her glistening eyes suffused with tears, oh, I had the funniest dream last night! Mary, I thought you were Latin teacher here, and you made me read nearly all the lesson on class every daw RI.VRV. — Well, T wish you would read some of it now. Edna. — Margaret, you just sit over there and bite your lips. How much have you read? What does tulit come from? I ' ve been looking for it for the last three minutes, and ] can ' t find it. What are the parts of that verb, any way? Tulo, tulere, tul — Margaret (Tcry quietly). — It comes from fero. Edna. — Oh, I knew that. ' liy didn ' t I think of it l)efore? The cruel and pitiless Juno — (Loohiii:; up. I Well, I thought it was time for the mail to come. Just stay here and I will bring yours to you. (Runs to get mail and comes back zmth a letter for Mary.). I thought there would be one for me, but now since the anxiety is ofif my mind, I think I can study better. (Picks up book.) Where was I? Mary I will study some while you are reading your letter, and then I will translate for you. (Mary reads her letter. The others study, and they are quiet for a Vii ' minutes.) 6 Makv. — Edna, if you will lend me a sheet of paper from your tablet, I ' 11 tell you something the best after a while. You don ' t mind doing it do you? Edn. . — Certainly not. M. RY. — I want to put down something so I won ' t forget it when I go to an- swer mother ' s letter. I ' .ut say, precious, do you mind giving it to me? Edna. — Well, yes, I believe I do, since you have made me think so much about it. So pass it back. Makv. — No, you go ahead and read that Latin. Edna. — Well, I ' 11 study till you finish writing that. And then you must tell us what it is that is so good. O Thou who rulest over the affairs of men and of gods, in your eternal dominions, and who terrifiest by your thunderbolts, what so great crime could my Eneas have committed against you, that the Trojans — Have you finished Mary? Mary. — Ye-s-s. Margaret axd Ed.xa. — Now tell us. Mary. — Well, you promise never to tell it ? The Girls. — Yes. Mary. — Sure? Now please don ' t tell it. The Girls. — We won ' t. M.- ry. — Well, I ' m — Oh, I am afraid you ' ll tell it. to-morrow night with Bib. Now, let ' s go to work, have changed you, O h ' ather — (Supper bell rings.)

The score stood four to six in TI favor of Lenoir College. Two Weaver School men had already struck out - and two were on bases, when Matheson came to the bat. Like prisoners of hope we felt that he might yet save the day. He turned and looked toward the grand stand. We could plainly see determination written in his eyes. He turns again and faces the pitcher from Hickory. Every muscle in his massive form is tense. As the ball left the pitcher ' s hand the very air was charged with thrills of ex- citement. Now!! Where? Where? The little sphere seems to be hunting a lodging place with the evening stars away beyond the limits of center field. The two men have already crossed the home-plate ; the score is now even, Matheson passes second base — now third ; now he and the ball are speeding toward home. The long throw was impossible. The runner scores the home-run that wins the game. Such a din I Such yelling! Such a ' noise! Then on their shoulders the Weaver School team bears off the hero of the day — the man who won the game, E, R. 69 MAY. 1905 CoN ' CERT Bv Primary Department May 22 8:00 p. M.
